Gutted for you mate, I think the Hockley thread should be removed from the Tech section. Have stupidly used them twice and therework is sub standard and they dont meet there deadlines when it comes to doing the work.
And I bet they had it longer than originally quoted?
Sorry to hear the horror stories I had my Curtis Frame, Forks and Bars done at Hockleys and was impressed with the finish, although it was my first restore and the frame was in a bad and way I may be looking at in in rose tinted glasses , anyhow my brother-in-law was over at the weekend and works at a foundry in the Midlands making lots of exotic things out of metal, I showed him my recent restored kids bike, told him all about the work that went into it and basically he was not that impressed with the finish, he's gonna put me in touch with who they use as he says they are the best in the business !!!!! and when he spoke to them they have done BMX re-chrome's. I will get the details of him and let you know.
